How Will You Write Your Story in 2019???

Every new year, you see an influx of articles, blog posts and stories centered around people making resolutions to hopefully improve the next 365 days over the last turn around the sun. For the last ten years, I have made promises to myself only to fail by mid March like 92% of the rest of the world. I am part of the mob of people making lofty goals to eat better, save more money or write the next best selling book. Like so many people I lacked the follow through to actively pursue my goals, but even more disheartening, I lacked the courage to step out of my box. Once I realized that I was essentially scared to take the steps to improve my own life for fear of failing I got angry with myself. Angry that I was stunting my own growth, angry that I wasn't disciplined enough to follow

through and angry that I waited so long to make a change.

But no more! *Does happy dance* This year I am determined to step out of my own way and write the story that I want to live this this year. One of the items that has been on my "to-do" list for years has been to start this blog. The idea of opening myself up to strangers and sharing my thoughts (and being critiqued for my effort *bites nails*) is so scary to me but here I am typing away on my laptop while my boyfriend snores beside me. I'm going to use this space to talk about the good, the bad, the random and the asinine and hope that my readers can relate to all my randomness and my attempts to grow. So thank you in advance for taking this journey with me. Please feel free to comment below, I would love to hear what you think holds you back and how you overcome those obstacles to write your story.

Till next time,

Just Elle <3
